late Saturday night, as he was making his
usual rounds, and had approached the
bridge that crosses White river, near Nor

the rapid approach Of hack driven furi-
ously by two men on the box seat.
He withdrew to the side Of the road and

Government for o second time, as an.
nounced by cable, to give iessent to the
Bait bill, which has for ha object the ex-
puleion OF French fishermen from the
fisheries adjacent to that colony, the Min
lister Of Marine and Fisheries hero states
that there is Il strong probability of New

One government OF that colony had
gone TO the country for reelection several
years ago on tho question Of confederation
with tho Dominion, but was defeated, Az
the movement was not popular ut the

then, and he thinks tho feeling in thst
colony seemed well defined nnd vigorous,
The prerent delegation to England had
been authorized by tho Government to
lay this prevailing sentiment before the
Imperial authorities. ~
1t Seemed to be a matter OF life and
death to tho fishing interests OF the island,
The agitation will probably mould the
present somewhat uncertain political SEN
timent Of Newfoundland into more def

move in the direction Of confederation

would simplify the fishery question. and

submitted report to-day. %%.
1t Is taken up largely in a review Of the
the strike, Its inception and progress, with
which the country Ia familiar, and states
that the loss to tho niue thousand men
engaged In II, for the fifty days they were
out. aggregated 100000, while the non.
striking employees suffered to the extent
OF $500. .0OD. and the railroads by loss Of
property and revenues suffered to tho OK,

The committee concludesthat arbitration
cannot be effective, for tho reason that

they had just reason to complain, and
these may have extended or enlarged the
